Description: How the visual culture of food, cookery, and consumption played a central role in the making of postrevolutionary Mexico.
Review Quotes: Culinary Palettes is an exciting book that takes the scholarship on post-revolutionary Mexican art and culture in a promising and creative new direction. It situates the intersection of visual studies, art history, and food studies as they pertain to post-revolutionary Mexico and the visuality of foodways--in art, cookbook illustrations, menus, tourist ephemera, restaurants, home economics manuals, and advertisements that were essential for imagining the nation.--Mary K. Coffey, Dartmouth University, author of How a Revolutionary Art Became Official Culture
